DualShock 3 And Xbox 360 Frankencontrollers

"The Xbox 360 DualShock? The PS3 Xbox 360 Controller? Over at Xbox-Scene Forums, moderator RDC has modded an Xbox 360 controller into a PS3 controller, writing: "The D-pad, Select, PS, Start, Square, Triangle, Circle, Cross, L1/R1 and L3/R3 buttons are all wired up right now and working, as are the LEDs for showing which controller it is." So, yes, this Frankencontroller will work with a PS3. And if that wasn't enough, RDC did the same in reverse by modding a DualShock 3 into an Xbox 360 controller. Take a look after the jump."

I actually wish I could get the Xbox (with dualshock inners) controller.

The Dualshock is great but was originally a PS1 controller without analogue sticks. In this state it was ergonomically excellent. Then the sticks were added. Nowadays most games are controlled mainly with the analogue sticks but, for me, it means too much stretching between thumb and forefinger with the right hand. My hand arch soon tires. Sony shouldnt be scared with experimenting with a new controller, despite the bad response to the 'boomerang.' They could release a limited edition PS3 pad, where the analogue sticks are recognised as been used the most. Id be happy to try it.

I would love to have a 360 pad with a dpad that did not suck, and a PS3 controller with softer edges and a bit "longer" grips. Sort of a combination of all of the qualities that do not suck from both pads.

i'd love to get a hold of some ps3 controllers shaped like 360's. after playing Super Stardust HD for an hour, my hands feel like crap. i'd kill for the comfort of my 360 controller while playin my ps3.

Probably being the only one here given a chance to grasp the original PS3 prototype "Boomerang" controller, I found it very comfortable and friendly to the hands. A few tweaks to that design would have been the better choice overall.

Sadly they trashed that design because people mocked it...

I would like to see a decent controller design though... PS3 has goofy triggers and an awkward handle grip design. While the 360 controller has shatty face buttons all together, with annoying dots on the analog rubbers.

If Sony was to reposition the Analogs orientation and have some "Real " triggers while making the controller more Ergonomical, yeah that wold be sweet. The Xbox 360 controller have your hands fit "Naturally" when you hold it. That's why it's comfortable.

I was gonna give that Ben Heck guy $500+ just to make me that PS3 controller in the Xbox 360 casing but that guy is way too busy. So for now, I buy no shooters on that console.

If anyone has both consoles, just hold the 360 controller and see the orientation of your hand, there is no Stressing with the thumb way down below and you can click the shoulder buttons.

Unlike the DS3. Your thumbs are faced down to the floor naturally, and your"shooter finger" is facing towards your body. That sh^t gets uncomfortable, because if you have big hands it start to hurt after a while. That controller needs more spacing.

Anyhow this is still all subjective but, if they weer to do a survey of gamers that have all consoles, I bet some would say the same about the pros and Cons of each.

Anybody know if I can pay this guy to make me one? I can't be the only one.

I have with my PS3 controller are the triggers. The only problem I have with my 360 is the D pad. FPS's feel better when I play on the 360. Hack n slash and platform games feel better on the PS3 controller. If someone could just take into consideration the design flaws of each controller we would have the perfect controller. While they are at it they should also get rid of the numbers and letters on the buttons and change them to up down right and left arrows. For some reason I can nver remember the buttons names when a game prompts me to hit them :P
